very happy

I was charged with DUI in November, 2019. I spoke with a number of attorneys afterwards, and Ann was the only one who spoke to me like I was a real person. She is always available to speak with by phone or email, and is very helpful with any questions or concerns. She is well respected in court rooms.... I am very happy with my outcome and everything Ann has done for me.

This is not just a lawyer she is top notch

My son was in a hit and run accident charged with Dwi reckless driving . She took my case and from day one I knew if she couldn't do it no one could. She was so compasinate with my son and familyas he almost lost his life. She treated us like we were her familythrough out the hold process never leavi...ng us in the blind. Also we found out that his license we're suspended because after wrapping his car around a pole and had to be cut out of his car the police said that he refused a roadside. So first her patients and experience of her craft scrutinized all the evidence presented by the DA she got all charges completely dropped. Then she reached out to other resources which she has a ton of them and had someone to repersent my son for his DMV hearing . DMb we're assholes. She reached even further and got a fomer DMV hearing officer to represent my son's case to appeal. In her words I am going to get you the best but not make you sell the farm to pay for it which she did. She is top shelf none better and guess what my son is completely clear of all charges driving with no restrictions. I can't thank her enough, the funny part about this we bacame very good friends and still have contact .We love you Ms. Toney and will never forget you have

Highly Recommend Anne Toney

I knew from my first call with Anne Toney that she was going to be on my side and support me in fighting my DUI charge. Anne explained all my options and the law very clearly and made me feel comfortable in making important decisions relative to my case. I never stressed entering the courtroom when ...Anne was there because she was confident, in charge, knowledgeable and friendly to everyone in the room. She was patient and stuck by me, and my case, until a positive outcome came along. Most importantly, Anne treated me like a person and not just another client with a DUI. It was very refreshing to have a lawyer that was honest, respectful and could make me laugh during the whole ordeal. If you find yourself in a difficult situation like I did, and need to hire an attorney, I highly recommend giving Anne Toney a call today! Thank you Anne for everything!

Ms. Toney was my best decision of 2014

When I was faced with a harrowing driving situation last year, I felt as if I were caught in undertow and alone without a clue as to how to pull myself back up and move on with life. There were costs, repercussions, and worse, huge dings on my driving record that would affect me for years to come. I ...immediately began contacting attorneys and spoke with six or seven after doing plenty of homework on them all. As soon as I spoke with Ms. Toney, I knew she was my top choice. Even over the phone, she was warm, grounded, compassionate, and extremely well-versed in DUI case management and law. Over the course of almost 8 months (my hearing was delayed), Ms. Toney and I were in constant contact. Now, even though my case is complete (and somehow—I have no idea how—my sentence was lighter than Ms. Toney and I both had imagined possible), I am still in touch with her and she is still advising me as to how to complete the community service and other court requirements that were part of my sentence. I highly recommend Ms. Toney. If you are willing to complete each step of the process thoroughly and in a timely manner, you will find that Ms. Toney will keep up with you and advise you every step of the way. I never, once I began to work with her, felt lost or afraid of future consequences. She is solid and trustworthy, and she treated me with respect and compassion from start to finish.

There's Not A Better Lawyer Out There

My case was very complicated from the get-go with too many problems to list. I was given a ticket for DUI and careless driving. This was the first time I'd ever gotten in trouble with the law enforcement. I am good at doing research and interviewed several attorneys. I was comfortable with Ann from... the first telephone conversation we had. She is a true professional that knows how the DMV and court system works. Ann kept me informed and aware of all possibilities that might occur at every step in the process. It is way too complicated of a system for a subpar/inexperienced attorney to take on. She is doing this line of work because she truly cares about what happens to the clients she represents. My case went on for several months because there were doubts in my case and I wanted to fight to not have a DUI/DWAI charge on my record for life. Ann stuck with me and continued to fight for my justice. When all was said and done the charges were reduced to a misdemeanor traffic charge. There were no unexpected fees; and worth every penny (which is extremely reasonable for the service you get from her).. Anyone who is looking for a reputable honest attorney would do themselves a huge injustice to not try and get Ann to represent you. Thank you Ann from the bottom of my heart!
